But the question is: will you wear a bra under it?
From Faludi's Backlash, p. 75:
"At one protest, a few women tossed some padded brassieres in a trash can. No one actually burned a bra that day--as a journalist erroneously reported. In fact, there's no evidence that any undergarment was ever so much as singed at any women's rights demonstration in the decade. (The only two such displays that came close were both organized by men, a disc jockey and an architect, who tried to get women to fling their bras into a barrel and the Chicago River as 'media events.' Only three women cooperated in the river stunt--all models hired by the architect.)"
Now give me a shirt celebrating Disco Demolition Night, because I know that happened.
Okay, is that a jock strap? Cause my eyes can't make heads or tails of it.
and our office computer guy has now put me onto Firefox, so that I can now log in freely:)
Hmmm... A shame it has to be printed on an American Apparel shirt. I like my clothes sweat-free AND sexist-womanizer-free.
I, if am fair, at all have not understood that there is drawn... Roofing felts a bathing suit, roofing felts underwear...
I have one - purchased pre-American Apparel "ew" awareness - and I wore it today sans bra. However it looks even more distorted on one's body - I've been asked more than once if it was someone burning a chicken.
i though american apparel were good guys...what'd they do?
i thought it was a squirrel on a rope at first glance...weird
The creator of American apparel has been accused of sexual harassment of his employees, something to do with interviewing them in his underwear. Plus, the American apparel website isn't much better with images of stick thin models in the companies clothing.
